Just for context from my experience, I run a PFL type promotion in the C-Verse that uses some of the expansion mods for more fighters. Each division for me at least is different. For Super Heavyweight, for example, I have Jimmy Royale, Spike Summers (both Expansion), and Matas as the top 3, with Jermaine DeBarge and Chi Ji Guang following. Meanwhile in Featherweight, Lamont Banner is a two season champ but the one losing season, where he lost in the semi finals to Marco Bernacci (Always seems to happen in my games lmao) caused a huge hole that was filled by a mix of Freddy Lomax, Colm Dee, and David James Diggle, with other featherweights still able to contend against those top 3. For building up prospects I've used a division system. Prospects start in Division 3 (Below 10 fights as a pro usually) and move up to Division 2 (Filled with a mix of veterans, prospects, and those who float between D1 and D2) if they make it to the finals (or on special occasions, just the playoffs.) Same system applies to Division 2, but fighters who go 0-4 (4 fights per season in the top 2 divisions) or something are mostly cut (Unless they are popular or still a prospect) So how does that impact the top stars/contenders? Well Heavyweight and Middleweight are just madness. Heavyweight has 10 fighters that all could conceivably win the tournament, while Middleweight is also nuts. Two prospects (Shane Dobson and Oleg Pavlov, from the expansion pack) have gone from low prospects in D3 to top stars in the company, vying for the D1 trophy. I could go way more in-depth, but to stay on topic, I found the best way to find/make stars is to figure out who truly has potential, who can beat the other prospects with a convincing fashion. Then you can start moving them up. But you also must not be afraid to demote those prospects who do mediocre. Cullen Skink is clearly a top 10 guy in my Lightweight division but his record and losses are getting worse. So even though he went 2-2, I sent him down to D2 to get the confidence back, as he is still 23 in my game world and is clearly someone who can make me a lot of money. The process in general is trial and error, be that through the game or simply just trusting your gut on someone's skills. I also want to mention that the opening of gyms is really helpful in getting their skill levels up as well.

Let's go man! Excited about this, love NXT 2.0.

Deever Arnold: An American Rampage Been working all my life. Everyday during my childhood I ran faster and faster. Im the only son of my mother, and I can't let her down. I went to Rockwell High School, right in downtown Brooklyn, and quickly became the best WR in all of New York. 1,250 Yards in my Junior year, offer accepted to Alabama. 1,420 yards, and 15 Touchdowns, a school record that earned me the nickname "The Rampage," a nickname I still use today. First game in college, I'm 18 and half right? Get put in during garbage time. 42-6 against god damn Vanderbilt. First play, simple wheel route, get the catch, and tear my knee in 3 different places. Son of a.... My career is over and now I have to find something else to do. Turns out American Machine is a huge fan of Alabama, and I guess wanted me to try the wrestling thing out. So how the hell do I show ability to learn pro wrestling when my leg is screwed? Well, I got lucky. The Machine got me set up at The Piledriver School Of Wrestling instead of almost certainly getting cut by the Supreme Univeristy. Lee Wright, bless his soul, helped me out more then I can ever thank him. He set me up in an apartment and basically became my personal physical therapist. I literally became his sole student for a minute, just because he felt I had potential. Then Ray Diaz came and help for the basics, and in just under a year, I was ready to go pro. My knee was still hurt, and still sometimes buckles on occasion, but I learned to live with it. Had a tryout match for NYCW, and though I got a contract offer from them, I also had one from Rochard Eisen, who saw my tape due to American Macine's recommendation. And now...I've kicked some ass. Became a champion in under two years, and now I'm on the precipice of the land of the Supreme. And I get to do that all with my Momma driving to Rhode Island every month just to see me wrestle, and Im proud of that. Sure, this wasn't the original goal, but I am proud of what I accomplished. The Rampage has overcome it all, and The Rampage will come for all in it's path.

Willy LaRoux: A Man Born To Wrestle I already can tell I’m born for this! I can make the youngest baby in the audience cry just from my words. I can make the biggest know-it-all in the audience feed into my work. I can make the purist of wrestling fans say that I’m the best in the ring. I am all that, and I know it too! See, even outside of the show, I have hustled my ass up the wrestling world. Got into MAW and looked to be their next multi time champion before the Supreme swooped me up. Imagine me, a boy from New Orlense becoming succesful like this so quickly! My family would be so gosh darn proud. Forget about them though, I’m in the land of the Supreme! I don’t even need to think about those shmucks anymore! Mean Jean told me word for word the first time he saw me: “Willy, you’re happy I get it, but please just shut up for a minute.” And since then I have done the exact opposite! Don’t be telling Wild Willy how to be?! It’s me, and I just can’t really control that can I? Of course moving in with Mr. Jewett was fun! Me and him would would pull some of the best pranks on the roster man. Almost got my ass beat by Zharnel for one of them! Ahh. Good times. We got a third roomate almost a year ago now with Son Of Vengeance. Kid keeps to himself a little too much for my liking, but I think me and Jewett are starting to warm him up a bit. Love the work he puts in though. I know sooner rather then later I’m gonna be called up. I’m just doing THAT good for my level. I’m defiently excited though to show everyone just how good I am, and how I was born for this!

Dreadnought: Son Of A Legend Dreadnought: Son Of A Legend “Kid, your dad was the best!” “Kid, Dread revolutionized how to be a large wrestler.” “Kid, I know you did football as a kid and looked to go to college, but you got to go to your dad’s camp!” “Kid, did you see this match of your dad’s against Haruki Kudo??” “Kid” “Kid” “Kid!” Since I was a kid, I heard “Kid” more times then I could count. A Kansas boy who’s amongst the top living due to his dad’s success. Due to that same success, I was forced to talk to a bunch of greasy wrestling legends almost every night. Sure, looking back on it now, it’s cool, but it got disheartening after awhile. I saw Rip Chord become excessively more alcoholic even after his success in MAW. I remember getting into freeze tag matches with Jay Chord and The Keith brothers, and seeing Matt and Greg somewhat pick on my older brothers. But no, don’t pick on big ol’ Sam! I knew for a while now I’ve been groomed since I was 5 or so to become a wrestler. I was bigger then all my brothers, and was stronger then most of them by the time I was 9. Kind of knew what was coming. I did football for all my high school years and was the best Offensive tackle in all of Kansas. I was going to Georgia, and almost certainly going to make the NFL. But I knew I had to follow my Dad’s camp. I knew I had to at least try it, and let him attempt to make me become a great wrestler. So I signed up, and quickly became the only student my Dad had for the year. I had a weird relationship with my dad. Saw him leave months at a time for PGHW and I still got a grudge on them for taking him away for them early years of my childhood. He did help me learn football as I grew older though, which was fun. Love him to death still, and I’m thankful of all the work he’s put in to me. But I still wish I got to experience him more as a child. I bring all this up as he recently helped me out even more. After a while on the indies, Dad got into contact with The Eisen’s, who as a favor from his stint there nearly 40 years ago, brought me to Rhode Island. I love him so much for giving me every opprotunity he can, and even if I wasn’t born wanting to become a wrestler, I do still wish to do as good as I can to make him proud, and showing him the lineage he wanted.

Tournaments are hard to predict in general, as if you get one wrong it could mess up your whole thing. You having TBA (Warwick) going all the way to the finale got you the edge I think to win it.

We don't usaully get signings sent down to us. I thought we were gonna have 1 for this year, but I won't reveal it now as he is making his debut on Friday. I did go to the airport to pick up the two new trainees. I guess Eric Eisen saw some clips of them when they were competing in India? Either way, they seem to have some talent. First up: Parvan Kishan, a nice kid who looks like the star of the India scene. "Hello Mr. Cattley, how are you this evening?" "You can call me Mean Jean. Nice to meet you kid." "I'm really excited to be apart of the Supreme Wrestling Federation!" "Well, first you have to make it through Rhode Island." "Rhode Island? But you picked me up in New York, the home of the supreme?" "Wait how much do you know about pro wrestling? "I have only been wrestling for 6 months, and I and my friends were never taught the history of the sport." "Ahh, noted." Kid's gonna need a lot more "Wrestling IQ" training. If the Eisen boys couldn't make it clear where he was going, then he probably has no idea how the company works. The second kid entered the car. "Hello Prince Rupy. "Hello Mr. Mean Jean, I've heard a lot about your great training." "Thank you," I stated, realizing he seems to have better knowledge than his counterpart "Parvin learns quickly, he'll understand the situation quickly." "Gotcha." I drove them to their apartment, was a long ass drive but we made it. It'll be fun to work with some international talent, something I don't usually do.

Samson Sharpe: The Dream Samson Sharpe: The Dream A cow talked to me when I was 13. Told me I’m gonna do more spectacular things than anyone in my family. I had 3 brothers and two parents with crippling gout in their ankles. None of us had ever left our city of Anthony, Kansas. I was told I’d bring a girl home one day and take over this farm, and that’d be my life achievement, this farm I’ve worked on all my life. The same day that brown cow talked, I watched my first episode of SWF. I still hate Remo Richardson for that attack that night, brutally beating up Jack Bruce. I knew that this farm was not the end all be all for me and that one day, I’d get revenge for Jack Bruce against that bastard Remo. I sent in my tape of me flexing hale bales and taking bumps on the mud. No gyms were in our city, so I had to go full experimental. Somehow, one of the Eisen's got a hold of the tape and loved it enough to buy me an all-expense trip to Hawaii to be trained at The Supreme Wrestling University. The conversation with my family was the hardest I’ve ever had, and I still feel awful. They are a lot more distant nowadays than I thought they would be, but they still allowed me to go. I was definitely behind the 20 or so other trainees, as they all had minimal experience in the sport. I had to work my god damn ass off to get anywhere. Instead of enjoying Hawaii like some of the other trainees, I was working in the ring with Bryan Jewett, trying to maximize my potential. I did this for around 6 months, and watch nearly all the recruits be cut. Warwick Good was the star of the class, followed by Rocky Weatherfield and Bryan Jewett, who throughout the trip, became one of my closest friends. All 3 were approved for graduation before me. It came down to a few of us, all fighting for one spot. Future indy stalwarts such as Sasquatch McGraw and Domonic DeGraff somehow got cut before me, and I still sometimes think they are better than me when I’m feeling low. It came down to me and Maliek Chamberlain. Maliek had it all, star potential, an athletic body that I didn’t have, and a good backstory, being a former High School football standout before he tore his leg. Luckily it was healed by then, and I was more nervous than a sheep during the sheering time. He had every right to be in the position I'm in today yet the trainers saw me through and selected me. Getting to RIPW was a whole nother whirlwind. I stayed with Jewett for most of my time there, a short stay with Hoss (though I left when he wouldn’t move his dirty socks out of the kitchen) and now I’m with Hank Whitman. Hank’s a real chill dude. He sits in his room and is either watching wrestling tape or reading his book. I already know he has more in-ring potential than me, so to see him already chill and mature is nice. I did have to teach him how to do a southern accent when I first moved in. Hoss got me up to his speed so I had to carry it down to my fellow Southern Comfort member. There’s some brotherly love between all three of us, even if I can’t stand Hoss’ socks. Today, I go online to see people say “Samson can’t be a single's hit” or “He’s only a tag guy.” Though I would accept being pegged at this position, I also see that I am getting better and better. I am getting my first real “Singles” storyline against Whole Lotta Marvin and am now right behind the main crop at the top. It’s a glass ceiling that can become an elevator for me, wherever The Eisen’s or Mean Jean want me. I want to become flexible, to be potentially a main eventer as well as a tag guy with Hoss and Hank. My dream has been to make it here, and I’m thriving. So whatever happens, be that I succeed here and up in the Supreme, or if I get fired tomorrow, I know deep down that I lived the dream. And I got to thank a cow that talked to me for all of it.

Kingsley Christopher: Differences Between You and Me Kingsley Christopher: Differences Between You and Me When I got the contract, cheers were heard around the house. My father, two brothers, two sisters and my grandma all celebrated with me. I did it, a contract with SWF, the pinnacle of the wrestling world. Newquay was the one who told me to check my email, saying he couldn’t believe it. If anything I expected him to make it and me to be left in the dust but both of us?? The Magic Boys in RIPW??? Jesus. It was a Saturday, and though I needed to leave on Sunday, my family still dragged me to church. My father, who has been a single parent since I was 4 years old, leans heavily on the bible. He needed the spell of the lord to help bridge the gap of a second parent, something most of my brothers and sisters never had. My father would dream of becoming close to the status of a pastor. He just doesn’t have the time to try. 5 kids he has to feed and grow (with one of them turning into a workaholic wrestling freak.) His dream would have to be put on hold. I know he’d be a good pastor, I see him motivate me and my brothers and sisters. I see him telling stories of old and showing us the way of life. I’m not as devout as him, yet I still respect it. I then see the way Newquay grew up, and how sheltered and I guess for a lack of a term, spoiled he was. I don’t blame Newquay for having an “In” for high level gyms and great training before even going to RIPW, it’s not his fault his father has like 3 Super Bowl rings. But I also wish he went through my experience. I had to have nearly perfect grades to move up to better schools with better weight training at toe. To become Kinglsley Christopher, I had to be beyond perfect. To become Newquay Brown, he had to be perfect at what he was given. But, at the same time, I know we are close in skill and experience. I know we are a tag team because of how well we gel and work together. I know that I’ve lived in the same bedroom as him for over a year. Even though we have these life altering differences, we still know how to make each other better.

QUOTE] RIPW Rivalry 2020 Stevie broke his neck. Like not even joking he just breaks it randomly in a match. Had to explain it in kayfabe, but it was pretty shocking as this was the first event in the save. No botch or anything.

The stretcher came to the back, with an ambulance waiting near the garage of the arena. Alongside the men holding the stretcher, you had Marty Simmons. "Ah jeez Stevie. What are you feeling?" "I just can't move my neck and head man. I think I'll be fine. I give Marty the approval to go with Stevie, no reason for him to stay for the rest of the night. As they left I had to talk to one more person. "You good man?" "Yeah. I just hope he's okay." "From what he said, I think he will be. Will be out for a long while but he should come back. "Man I hope so. He just went down from the bump man. I guess I held him too close to me. "It looked normal to me. I don't see what could've happened." "Damn man..." "It's gonna be cool dude. Just hit the showers alright?" "Alright, thanks." He walked off, seemingly startled still. It was a serious injury and I don't know exactly what happened wrong. Was just a front facelock suplex, a move I've seen Willy give hundreds of times. Just a horrible situation.
